Have you heard of the term "rosy retrospection?" Have you heard of the term "rosy retrospection?"

"At the end of the day, it's the present moment that holds all the gifts we could ever need. Maybe we can recognize that we might sometimes over-glamorize the past. Seeing that the past wasn't as perfect as we'd thought frees us to let it go gently. We can settle into and fully enjoy the present moment - and see all of the beauty, rightness, joy, hopefulness, and connection within it- because it's all we ever truly have."
